Chosen Few
Reflections on Chosen Allegiance
Lyrics
Try as I might these color blind eyes won't bleed
Despite my efforts, my eyes, unable to discern colors, remain unaffected.
The water from the stone is the water I need
The essential nourishment I require is like water drawn from an unyielding stone.
You gave enough hope to take the lead
You provided sufficient hope for me to take the lead or initiative.
Knowing damn well it was not red but green
Acknowledging knowingly that it was not a situation of danger (red) but rather a situation of envy (green).
But among your chosen few
Referring to a select group of individuals chosen by the speaker.
Of these Heathens allowed around
Members of a group labeled as heathens are permitted in this chosen few.
If we bleed the beast you'll see the way to
If we confront or challenge the oppressive force, the solution will become evident.
Let the cheek trickle down
Allowing the consequences or truth to slowly reveal itself.
I've held my tongue you were right, that was mean
I refrained from speaking; you were correct, and my previous words were unkind.
You're wrong to set us wasting time amongst the weeds
Your decision to involve us in unproductive activities among difficulties is incorrect.
Cause we're easy fodder our bootstraps now seem a breeze
We, as a vulnerable group, now find even challenging tasks relatively easy.
You might add my body to those who died who made you king
Your actions might lead to my demise, joining those who sacrificed for your assumed kingship.
But among your chosen few
Reiteration of the exclusive group chosen by the speaker.
Of these heathens allowed around
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the acceptance of heathens in the chosen few.
If we bleed the beast you'll see the way to
Reiterating that confronting the oppressive force will reveal the solution.
Let the cheek trickle down
Continuation of the idea that truth will gradually become apparent.
But among your chosen few
Repetition of the exclusive group chosen by the speaker.
Of these heathens allowed around
Restating the acceptance of heathens in the chosen few.
If we bleed the beast you'll see the way to
Emphasizing that confronting the oppressive force will reveal the solution.
Let the cheek trickle down
Reiterating the idea that truth will gradually become apparent.
